International Conference on Peri-urban Landscapes

There are growing concerns about water and food security to meet increases in population in urban areas. For cities to be liveable and sustainable into the future there is a need to maintain the natural resource base and the ecosystem services in the peri-urban areas surrounding cities. The conference concerns the sustainability and security of peri-urban aspects of water, land, food, ecosystems services and liveability of regions. To submit your abstract or poster presentations please visit www.periurban14.org. Abstracts close on the 9th August 2013. The best platform and poster presentations will be awarded the Peri-urban Best Presentation Awards.
